Here's a theory for you...

Col is due to stay up in Sydney this weekend. Maybe he, and a few other senior players, are up there meeting with the new coach, as currently, that person resides in Sydney...

Ah, all the Paul Roos fans will love that one!

Didn't Roos quit Syndey to come back to Melbourne? I honestly don't know the exact details.

    I doubt it.

    I wouldn't trust any of the players to keep their trap shut.

    I would say "we are looking at getting a proven coach, Colin now sign this con...er, autograph...yes, that'll do."

    Haha decent work there rpfc, nice.

    If he weren't an AFL player I seriously wonder what Col would do with himself.

    Can't forget the time he was asked if he knew who our PM was and he said John Howard... about 18 months after Rudd had been elected.

    In all seriousness, maybe he (or someone else) has been told, and that is the cause for this betting plunge on Ross Lyon...

    To my knowledge he runs the Swans youth academy, and wanted more spare time so he could travel with his wife to her native US more often.

    He needs to be in the leadership group next year (ie, the team stuff needs to be imposed on him IMO, and I reckon he'd nail it).

    If he does not get the team stuff on his own volition, he cant be a leader.

    I am glad he has signed. I hope he is more consistent over the next 2 years than he has been.

    At 25/26, there are no more excuses. He needs to deliver big time.

    Could not have said it better.

    I'm glad he's signed - great news for the club.

    Now can he finally have a proper pre-season and not park himself in the 'modified training program' group like last year.

    Endurance is his biggest problem.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
